That first one was pretty baity though. OP intentionally left off the question mark so that it would happen and stir drama. Im not saying its isnt a dumb rule but it wasnt an arbitrary decision and OP trying to stir the shit doesnt help his case.

To be fair, that deleted one at the top was breaking the rule. It's not a good rule, but the moderators have to enforce them the same way as users have to follow them. It would be dubious for a mod to selectively decide not to delete submissions that break rules.
